Santa Clara County’s Initial Workforce Education and Training (WET) plan was approved on August 27, 2009. The plan will improve and transform the mental health system by enhancing the skills of the workforce, expanding roles for consumers and family members and increasing cultural and linguistic diversity. The plan consists of $4.1 million in education and training programs annually.

The plan requests that all remaining WET funds ($9,250,800) be disbursed to the County in FY09-10. Below, please find an Executive Summary and the full plan. Please contact Jeannette Ferris, WET Coordinator at 408.792.3911 or Jeannette.Ferris@hhs.sccgov.org if you have questions.
